“Chelsee did a fantastic job watching our dog! She gave us updates and pictures everyday. Our dog Sassy seemed so comfortable and happy to be there! We highly recommend and will definitely use Chelsea again in the future!”
“I cannot recommend this dog sitter enough! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Not only did she take incredible care of my dog, but she went above and beyond by picking her up and even giving her a bath before bringing her home. Her patio is perfect for high-energy dogs, with plenty of space to run, play, and burn off energy safely. It was such a relief knowing my dog was getting exercise, attention, and lots of love while I was away. Communication was excellent, and it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. My pup came home happy, clean, and exhausted from all the fun she had. I would trust her with my dog again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional dog sitter!”
“Rich and Kayla were awesome sitters. They took on the car of our 10 month old velociraptor without a second thought! Kayla sent daily updates with pictures and even gave him a bath (after he was bad and decided to they needed a hole in their backyard). 😐 Thank you again for taking such great care of Barley! He said it was just like summer camp and can’t wait to come swim again.”
“Sophia was amazing. From the moment we dropped off me and my husband both felt so comfortable and at ease leaving our baby with her. We were updated throughout his whole stay with pictures. He went on walks, and got to play with other friends. We will definitely be booking her again ❤️”
“David and Krysta always take the best care of Marli and Mason! We always feel so comfortable leaving our pups in their care, knowing they’re having the best time and are so well loved and looked after. We truly appreciate them and would highly recommend!”
About: Many years experience as a loving pet-parent (cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds and fish). I have worked as a dog-groomer as well. I am retired and no longer have pets but would enjoy helping out with yours. I am retired and have lots of time to play and care for your pets. I currently do not have pets after losing my 22 year old rat terrier last year but would treasure yours like my own. I live in an apartment without a fence but I can take your dog for walks as needed and can give them lots of my time and attention if they are here. Otherwise, I can come to you for their care.
“Heather was wonderful and took such good care of Dad’s dog while we were away! Great communication and responded promptly whenever we messaged her. Relieved the stress of not being able to take his dog with us. I can not thank her enough!”
“Anna was so wonderful with my Max, I got pics and videos every day! She was a vet tech and I felt so comfortable with her knowledge of all his old man medications ? She was also very accommodating when I was going to be out of the country using a different app so we could communicate. Max is even going to be with her for the holidays as well when I’m out of town. I have no doubts he will have another wonderful mini vacation at Anna’s.”
“Alex took wonderful care of Donny! We are so thankful! We were traveling for a family vacation but needed a few night for Donny to stay somewhere - I was nervous but she sent wonderful updates and took wonderful care of him!”
“I now have multiple visits with Carla and Thea is always thrilled to stay with her while we visit Florida. Love the attention to detail and care given! Great Job as always!”
About: I have cared for and trained my dog, my mother’s and grandmother’s dogs. I have also provided a variety of personal home-care services to senior citizens, special needs children & nannied off and on throughout my early adult life. I love caring for and helping others. I substitute teach during the school year and I would love to care for pets during the summer time! It is my goal to at least work part time on top of another part time job! :) I have an apartment where I can keep pets for a short amount of time; we have a nice walking area and a dog park.
“We feel that Mia received the best of care from Rosemary & Matthew. I'm sure she was in good hands.....even tho she hid in the closet for most of her stay! We would use them again.”
“I am honored to leave a review when I first went there I was kind of skeptical of leaving Ravel there because of the wooded area and there weren't any dogs that I thought revell would be able to play with when revell got out of the car revell act like he knew Allison all his life she is definitely an animal whisperer at this point in time I said okay this might be okay during my vacation Allison sent pictures everyday of ravel's progress and how great RAVELL is doing... I'm going to say this if you're looking for a dog sitter she is your girl ..She will contact you every step of the way let you know of progress.. I thank God for her when I came back to pick up Ravell he was not hurt he was still alive and unbruised thank you Allison for taking care of my pooch and as we were pulling out the driveway I told Ravell give Allison kisses and he ran straight to her to give her kisses goodbye..”
“Ashlea and her family were so amazing with Teddy. We haven’t left him with anyone other than family in years. Teddy fit right in with her cats and dog. I was such a great experience we would definitely use her again!!”
“This was Dovey's first time staying with Alexandra and her family. My husband and I had to travel for 6 days and leaving Dovey for this length of time with a new family made me worry. I have to say, the moment we left Dovey, our one year old, very active, German Shorthaired Pointer with Alexandra and drive away on our trip, we had no concerns. Alexandra and her husband, her three dogs, her cats, and her children were very welcoming. They made Dovey feel like she was one of the family. By the many photos Alexandra sent us, Dovey chimed right in with the daily activities and daily walks. When we picked Dovey up to bring her home, she was happy to see us but seemed almost sad to leave her new family of friends!! Dovey wasn't stressed, she smelled good and was very nice and tired, a good thing for a GSP. We would certainly like to have her stay with Alexandra again!!!!”
“Ginny took great care of our pup during the new years holiday week! We felt so calm knowing our pup was in good hands while we vacationed in the area from DC. Would definitely recommend!”
“Such a wonderful, safe, and loving sitter! We felt totally comfortable with Brittany and her home for our sweet, older dog who has medical issues and anxiety. We got pictures and updates every day and knew that he was comfortable and well taken care of!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in DeFuniak Springs on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 187 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across DeFuniak Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of DeFuniak Springs sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which DeFuniak Springs landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their DeFuniak Springs home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your DeFuniak Springs.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your DeFuniak Springs sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
